Pauline, a universal Floppy Disk Emulator is in Beta test!

The french preservation groups MO5, La Ludothèque Française and the Game Preservation Society are proud to announce a new open source preservation tool, Pauline.
It’s made by Jean-François Del Nero, already known for the HxC FDE and it’s in closed beta testing at the moment.

The device can detect the kind of Floppy drive it’s attached to, try to repair faulty sectors of a floppy and make a backup of it!
It can also act as a regular FDE.

On the software side, the set of tools written for Pauline is called Ludo. It’s also open source and available for Linux and Windows.
